Only YOU Boutique Hotel Madrid - Madrid

Taking up residence in a former 19th Century palace, Only You Boutique Hotel Madrid has been lovingly transformed into a stunning hotel, featuring a sensational selection of rooms and suites, each reflecting the building’s heritage. The hotel’s on-site upscale restaurant, YOUNIQUE Arts Club, is equally as grand, as is the vintage Padrino Cocktail Bar. Next door, you’ll also have access to the light-filled, gluten-free cafe, Celicioso. Moreover, you can put yourself into the hands of expert therapists and enjoy a range of treatments at the Thai Room wellness space, workout in the 24-hour gym, or relax in the cosy lounges.

This exceptional property borders the super-cool neighbourhoods of Chueca and Salesas, both brimming with boutiques, cafes, restaurants and nightlife. Museums, galleries and theatres are never far away, the most notable being Museo del Prado, Centro de Arte Reina Sofia and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza – all located within a three-mile radius known as the Golden Triangle of Art. While in the area, be sure to visit the Parque del Buen Retiro, exploring the beautifully landscaped gardens and the impressive Monument to King Alfonso XII that stands over the park’s boating lake. Equally impressive are The Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real de Madrid) and the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Royal of the Almudena, conveniently sitting next to each other, just two and a half miles away. Furthermore, a trip to Madrid would not be complete without sampling the famous tapas. There’s nowhere better than Mercado San Miguel, which is within walking distance of the Royal Palace. It’s a perfect way to experience the finest Iberian ham and freshest fish and shellfish brought in daily from Galicia, all washed down with a glass of wine or Estrella beer. Madrid International Airport is approximately 13 miles away.

Even though the exterior of the hotel is grand, it’s the interior that is truly dazzling, displaying a rich mix of high ceilings, exposed beams, ornate archways, marble fixtures and moulded ceilings. There’s a good balance of old and new, where traditional azulejo tiles sit beside modular sofas and futuristic lighting. This elegant design flows from the public areas into the rooms and suites, with geometric-print carpets, studded Royal blue headboards and maps of Madrid decorating the walls. Bathrooms are beautifully presented and feature modern subway tiles, a walk-in rainfall shower, fluffy bathrobes and luxurious Codage toiletries. Many rooms offer a charming Juliette balcony providing views across Chueca, while Fabulofts feature high sloping ceilings, a spiral staircase and original wooden beams. To elevate your stay further, Suiteheart, Blue Suite and Only YOU Penthouse options contain a gorgeous outdoor terrace, decorated with striking cobalt blue floor tiles, statement potted plants and deep cushioned furniture.
